Murder of Col. Edward P. Jones, CSA While Prisoner at Fort Delaware

I was going back through my November 2013 posts in this blog and came across a prisoners diary where he recounted  this man's "murder" at the hands of a prison guard at Fort Delaware for not moving fast enough.

The Virginia Military Institute has a page listing alumni from that institution who were killed or died while serving the Confederacy.

It reads:

"JONES, EDWARD POPE, M.D., from Middlesex County, Virginia.  Colonel of Virginia Militia.  Captured and imprisoned  at Fort Delaware, and while a prisoner was murdered by his guard."
